How to Connect Amazon Seller Central to ChatGPT with CorpusIQ MCP¶

Amazon Seller Central holds your marketplace orders, your fulfilment inventory, and the financial events behind your payouts. The reporting is powerful and slow: one report, one date range, one marketplace at a time. Connecting Amazon Seller to ChatGPT through CorpusIQ MCP gives you a faster way to ask, with read-only access you authorize once and plain-English answers from live data.

Once connected, ChatGPT can query orders, inventory, sales metrics, financial events, and marketplace participations, so the marketplace stops being a black box between settlements.

What you can ask¶

"How many units did we sell this month, by marketplace?"
"Which products are at risk of a stockout based on recent sales velocity?"
"What is our average order value on Amazon compared with our own store?"
"Which orders from the last 24 hours have not shipped yet?"
"What settlement amount is expected from the current payout period?"
"Which marketplace is growing fastest, and which is declining?"
"How do our Amazon sales compare with eBay and Shopify for the same period?"

What Amazon Seller data CorpusIQ reaches¶

Orders. Order volume and status by date range and marketplace.
Sales metrics. Units sold, revenue, and order counts over time.
Inventory. Fulfilment inventory levels and stock health signals.
Financial events. The settlement and fee events behind your payouts.
Marketplace participations. Which marketplaces the account is active in, so multi-marketplace questions are answerable.

Cross-source questions¶

The marketplace becomes far more useful when it is joined to the rest of the business:

"Reconcile this month's Amazon payouts against what QuickBooks recorded as deposits."
"Compare Amazon advertising-attributed sales with what the orders actually show."
"Which Amazon customers are also repeat buyers on our own store?"
"What is our true margin per unit once Amazon fees, freight, and cost of goods are included?"

Each of those pulls Amazon Seller together with your accounting, commerce, or ad connections in one answer.

How the connection works¶

You authorize read-only access to Seller Central through Amazon's own authorization flow, connect the CorpusIQ MCP server to ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, and the assistant calls the Amazon retrieval tools when a question needs them. The connection is assistant-agnostic: authorize once, use it from any MCP-capable client.

Security and data handling¶

Read-only. The Amazon retrieval tools are marked read-only. The assistant can read and cite your marketplace data, but it cannot list a product, change a price, or ship an order.
Bounded, scoped retention. Direct MCP requests fetch live and do not build a raw-file or full-payload warehouse. Scoped operational logs may persist for up to 30 days.
Your access controls. Nobody at CorpusIQ can access your accounts, and each user queries under their own authorized credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions¶

Can ChatGPT list a product or change a price?

No. The retrieval tools documented here are marked read-only and provide no execution capability. The assistant analyses and cites your marketplace data, but all selling actions stay in Seller Central.

Does this work across multiple marketplaces?

Yes. Marketplace participations are part of the connection, so you can compare performance across the marketplaces the account is active in rather than exporting each one separately.

Can I reconcile Amazon payouts with my accounting system?

Yes, and it is one of the most useful questions. With Amazon Seller and QuickBooks both connected, matching a settlement against recorded deposits is a single prompt instead of a spreadsheet exercise.

Is FBA inventory covered?

Yes. Fulfilment inventory levels and stock health are part of the Amazon connector, so stockout risk against sales velocity is answerable.

How current is the data?

CorpusIQ queries Amazon through the live API. Amazon's own reporting can lag settlement data by up to a day, which is platform behaviour rather than a CorpusIQ delay.

What access do I need?

You need Seller Central access with permission to authorize an integration, and the required scopes appear during Amazon's authorization flow before you approve.
